Founder Marissa Peretz Panel Judge at Boston University Pitchfest

Last week my Co-founder Marissa Peretz was a judge for Boston University’s 2017 Media Ventures Pitchfest. The event runs parallel to graduation for Boston University’s Masters of Science in Media Ventures program, and is a culmination of the graduate students’ studies in entertainment and interactive media. Each student in the program has an idea for an entertainment or media tech startup when they enter the program, and this is their chance to have their business model critiqued by experienced industry veterans. The program itself begins in Boston on the university’s main campus, and then students move out to Los Angeles for an intensive study and internship program in the heart of the entertainment industry.

“It was exciting to see the passion and professionalism that the students displayed as they presented their startups,” Marissa said. “They clearly put a lot of thought, planning, and market research into each business idea.” For more information on Boston University’s Media Ventures program, visit their website.
